“On a day in the spring of 1956, my parents dressed my brother and me in brand new outfits, my mother put on makeup and her best, camel-hair coat, and we all went for a drive in the countryside near Montreal. We took along our puppy, Smokey, wrapped in a blanket in case he peed on the seats of our new car. Not long before, my father had agreed to enrol me in a special program, whose directors were very interested in bright little girls like me.” So begins Ann Diamond’s terrifying tale of growing up in Canada during the Cold War—an era when secrecy ran rampant, ruining careers and lives. This is the true story of one family caught in a dangerous web of deception.
